Pros:
- smaller on the blockchain
- shorter integrated addresses
Cons:
- less sparseness
- less ability to embed actual information
The boolean argument to encrypt payment ids is now gone from the
RPC calls, since the decision is made based on the length of the
payment id passed.
A payment ID may be encrypted using the tx secret key and the
receiver's public view key. The receiver can decrypt it with
the tx public key and the receiver's secret view key.
Using integrated addresses now cause the payment IDs to be
encrypted. Payment IDs used manually are not encrypted by default,
but can be encrypted using the new 'encrypt_payment_id' field
in the transfer and transfer_split RPC calls. It is not possible
to use an encrypted payment ID by specifying a manual simplewallet
transfer/transfer_new command, though this is just a limitation
due to input parsing.
It should avoid a lot of the issues sending more than half the
wallet's contents due to change.
Actual output selection is still random. Changing this would
improve the matching of transaction amounts to output sizes,
but may have non obvious effects on blockchain analysis.
Mapped to the new transfer_new command in simplewallet, and
transfer uses the existing algorithm.
To use in RPC, add "new_algorithm: true" in the transfer_split
JSON command. It is not used in the transfer command.
boost doesn't support %zu for size_t, and the previous change
to %u could technically lose bits (though it would require splitting
a transfer into 4 billion transactions, which seems unlikely).
The new save_watch_only saves a copy of the keys file without the
spend key. It can then be given away to be used as a normal keys
file, but with no spend ability.
Sends all the dust to your own wallet. May fail (if the fee required
is more than the dust total). May end up paying most of the dust in fees.
Unlocked dust total is now also displayed in "balance".
Replace --set_log with --log-level for consistency.
Show default log level in usage.
Add --log-file for specifying log file path.
Document log file path.
Display log file path at startup.
As with display of seed, don't log view key and spend key.
Includes:
- display of viewkey at wallet creation
- "viewkey" command output
- "spendkey" command output
new update of the pr with network limits
more debug options:
discarding downloaded blocks all or after given height.
trying to trigger the locking errors.
debug levels polished/tuned to sane values.
debug/logging improved.
warning: this pr should be correct code, but it could make
an existing (in master version) locking error appear more often.
it's a race on the list (map) of peers, e.g. between closing/deleting
them versus working on them in net-limit sleep in sending chunk.
the bug is not in this code/this pr, but in the master version.
the locking problem of master will be fixed in other pr.
problem is ub, and in practice is seems to usually cause program abort
(tested on debian stable with updated gcc). see --help for option
to add sleep to trigger the error faster.
commands and options for network limiting
works very well e.g. for 50 KiB/sec up and down
ToS (QoS) flag
peer number limit
TODO some spikes in ingress/download
TODO problems when other up and down limit
added "otshell utils" - simple logging (with colors, text files channels)
simplewallet run without a wallet path argument should prompt again if
an invalid path was entered.
Validity here currently means the string isn't empty.
simple_wallet::seed()
- Check that wallet is deterministic.
simple_wallet::new_wallet()
- Prompt for seed language only if it's a non-deterministic wallet,
along with previous conditions.
simple_wallet::open_wallet()
- Fixed check for deterministic wallet (flag based on command line
non-deterministic argument was used before, but it's inapplicable to
opening an existing wallet).
- As with deterministic wallet, non-deterministic also included to be
rewritten to new JSON format file. That's what's done for newly
generated non-deterministic wallets, so old versions should be
updated to same format.
